| TELEPHONE HOTLINE: |
 |
WFF has immediate openings in our Volunteer Phone Assistance (VPA) program. People answering the phones respond to phone calls from people needing immediate assistance with injured or abandoned wildlife.
Positions are available 7 days a week in 4 to 6 hour shifts.
VPA volunteers provide a vital service to the citizens and wildlife of the Pikes Peak Region.
Persons answering the phone would obtain information about the situation, and with guidance and gained experience, decide whether it is appropriate to rescue the animal. This person should be comfortable handling emergency situations.
Answering the phone can be done at your own home, by using your cell phone or while manning the front desk in the WFF office.
The WFF team will provide training.
For more information or to request an application, please call 719.475.WILD (9453) or email

| ANIMAL CARE POSITIONS: |
 |
| IMPORTANT: When you volunteer to help wildlife they will be depending on you. This is a commitment that you will be making to the animals - to protect them, to shelter them, to feed them, to provide tools so that they might learn skills essential to survival, etc. You are the temporary parent and you MUST be there. It is a very important job and an opportunity that you will not find anywhere else. |
Transport Team Runners:
As part of the Division of Wildlife Transport Team, these people will respond to calls received by the Telephone Response Team. They will also be asked to transport animals between the veterinarians and rehabilitators for assessment, treatment, and follow-up exams.
